Chapter 19

Latias and Latios had just teleported in front of the sacred temple for all Pokemon. On this, had a very important saying on it.

"Do you see that? That is the ancient saying for all legendary Pokemon to remember," said Latios.

"What does it say?" asked Latias. She, unlike her brother, had not studied in ancient writing.

"It's written in English," said Latios. Latias fell down anime style.

Latias got up. She read what it said:

Balance. The world of Pokemon depends on one simple rule: Balance. If the balance is broken, then the world will begin to crumble. Do not distort the balance.

"I'm scared..." whimpered Latias.

"We either need to get Arceus to kill a Vulpix and a boy," Latios said sarcastically, "Or, we need to get the boy and the Vulpix back to their world."

"We will not kill more people!" squealed Latias, not getting the sarcasm, "But I don't know how to get them back! I think that the Aurck people put a virus on the portal! It was a wonder why the boy and I did not have any damage to ourselves!"

Latias thought for a moment, "Unless..."

"What?" asked her brother.

"Unless, it was because she touched the photo. But the question is, why would someone put a virus on the portal?"

Ryan woke up with a migraine. He sat up, holding his forehead. It was obvious that he was in a lot of pain. Can you blame him? Talking Pokemon, being attacked by psybeam. In the past, this would have been the most out of the ordinary thing. But now, the only abnormal thing that happened was the talking Pokemon thing.

Lizzy was asleep on the ground. Along with Kirlia. They're almost like sisters.

Ryan looked around. Dawn, Ash, and Brock were asleep, and all of the other Pokemon that were out either got out of their Pokeballs, or just went to sleep on the ground. Ryan figured that he had better go to sleep with them, despite what had just happened... Way to think.

That morning, everyone was woken up by nurse Joy.

"Your time's up!" she happily announced, before walking out of the room. Ryan and Lizzy, who had two experiences with the same nurse Joy yelled, "We didn't do anything wrong!"

Lizzy looked back at Ryan, who in return looked back at her. Again, she laughed till she cried, which you can probably imagine would hurt her. So, now she was half crying from pain and half crying from nurse Joy.

Everyone else in the room, except Ryan just said, "What the-"

After everyone left the Pokemon center, Ryan decided that it was time to leave everyone else.

"What about one more night together?" asked Ash.

"I don't think that it would be a good idea. Well, you know..." whispered Ryan.

Lizzy glared at him. Ryan didn't notice.

Later on during the day, Ryan and Lizzy were waving goodbye to everyone. They left through the woods that they came from.

They walked in silence for a while. Ryan finally broke the silence by asking, "So... How are ya?"

"I don't think that I could respond to that. Mostly for the fact that you can't understand me."

"...Nevermind," Ryan said.

They looked forward again. There was really nothing to talk about. So, we'll just skip ahead to when they somehow made it to Heartrome city.

"Wow..." said Ryan, "It looks so much different than in the games."

"Vul..." Lizzy definitely sounded impressed.

There were Pokemon contest posters that really caught Lizzy's eye. There was even one with a Vulpix on it. She was practically staring at that one.

If I had to stay a Pokemon forever, I would definitely want to do this.

Ryan turned around to look at her. He said, "We don't want someone else to get our room at the Pokemon center!"

Lizzy looked at him, and then ran towards him. Again, we're going to skip through a little bit and get straight to the Pokemon center.

"Room 233. It's on the second floor to the left. Here's your room key," said nurse Joy.

"Thank you," said Ryan as he and Lizzy headed to their room... Again, we're going to skip the awkwardness of being in the same room with one another and just head to the lobby.

There was a girl who was wearing a ton of metal. She had a Luxray with her.

"Hi! My name is Ryan. What's yours?"

"Go away," said the girl.

"Sorry. I was just asking your name."

"Urrgg! If I tell you my name, will you go away?" she asked.

"Sure," said Ryan.

"Jade. Now, I'm gonna practice for the contest. So leave me alone."

"You're entering the contest?" yelled Ryan.

"I thought that you were going to leave me alone now."

"No, YES! Sorry."

"You're entering, right?"

"No. I don't really have a Pokemon," Ryan said, sort of looking down at Lizzy.

"Oh! I guess that you won't be there to see me win with Luxray here."

"Lux, luxray," only Lizzy knew what he said, and she glared at him.

"Well, I suppose that since you don't have a Pokemon-" Jade was cut off.

"Vulpix," said Lizzy. She jumped onto... a table? How'd that get in the scene? Now, let's just say that right there, Lizzy got Ryan to enter.

"Or... I guess that I do."

"What the heck?" asked Jade.

Ryan leaned down towards Lizzy and asked her, "You sure about this?"

Lizzy nodded in return.

"Okay! I guess that we are entering."

"Fine," Jade stood up, "You'll get to see me and Luxray here win. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go practice.

Jade walked out of the Pokemon center.

Skipping the awkwardness again, and we'll just head over to their room.

"Can I go outside?" asked Lizzy.

"Huh?" asked Ryan.

Lizzy pointed to herself. Than she pointed outside of the window.

"What? You wanna go outside?" he asked.

Lizzy nodded.

"I don't think so. It might not be safe.

Lizzy looked at Ryan. She was a month younger than him, but still. She gave him the biggest puppy dog eyes that she could possibly come up with.

"No."

She whimpered.

"No."

Ryan looked at her eyes. They had the light hitting them just right. It was to much,

He sighed, "Fine. Just be careful."

Lizzy nodded and headed outside. She got out through the conveniently placed window.

She looked around at the signs and stopped at some of them. She couldn't believe her eyes at some of these signs. They were so... pretty.

"Hey! It's a Vulpix!" yelled a boy with a Piplup.

She looked at him. He had a determined expression on his face.

Uh oh...

"Piplup! Use water gun!"

A huge stream of water came out of its mouth. Lizzy jumped. It barely missed her.

She ran. Just ran. She could feel water hitting her tails every once and a while. Somehow, she made it back to the Pokemon center.

She found an emergency exit ladder and she climbed it up to her window. She jumped through it. Than she collapsed from exhaustion.

Lizzy woke up. She looked around. Ryan wasn't in the room. She got up.

"Ryan?" no answer.

She walked around the room. He wasn't there.

She was about to walk through the door when she noticed something. It looked like a green scarf. It was on the floor. She touched it with the pads on her paw. It was silky.

She took her head and put it under the scarf. Then she got it around her neck. After she did that, she took her front paw and swung and hit the scarf. She got it on just right.

Now, to go and find Ryan. She ran out of the door.
